You haven't completely disinterested me in the canon. Should future entries interest me further, I'll reread this and reconsider my vote. But as is, the story effectively ends in a cliffhanger and I'm stuck with several questions and absolutely no answers. The story introduces much but effectively says nothing, at least at the moment.

Here's a bad simile: An introduction should be like that one tiny piece of pizza, giving you an idea of what's in store without using up too much of the main mass. This is just the crust of that tiny piece. I downvote for no pizza.

But, to drag this godawful metaphor even further, if the pizza ends up being super duper good, I'll forgive the first piece for being a little flawed, because it worked out in the end.

…but I feel that this was a stuffed crust, entirely enjoyable in its own right, especially those first couple of bites at the beginning.

I love how you started this, and I feel that if there was anything I would consider a flaw, it's that you started the next part of the story and then cut off abruptly. If you had ended this installment with him having found the earth, this would have been entirely satisfactory. Instead you launch into events in the city and then did an awkward cliffhanger.

…any way to vote 1/2 up?
I loved the tone on the first half, and the curiosity it caused. Questions, not forced, but out of my own mind.
The seconf half, though, is the oposite. FORCES you to think questions to what's happening, but answers nothing. Feels empty by itself.

Right. So, there has been some consensus that this canon may be better if read backwards rather than forwards. The final tale is here if you'd like to do that. Rereading this tale after doing that is also nice, because it sheds a whole new light on it.

All in all, this canon's been growing on me like a tumor between 2000 and 8000 km long. With the pertinent questions answered (after reading the rest of the canon), I like this a lot.
